If you cycle from central Aarhus, the distance to Moesgaard is c. 9 km. You can cycle along Oddervej using the cycle lane or take the atmospheric route through the Marselisborg forests. There is parking for bicycles close to the entrance to the exhibition building.

Disabled parking is located just outside the main entrance with clear signage. People who find walking difficult and wheelchair users have easy access to the main entrance: if you drive to the end of the road alongside the exhibition building, turn down the path to the ramp and drop off your passengers.

As this is a route used in case of fire, you must then park your car in the car park. 

We are always ready to help if you have any questions.

The parking area for buses is located in the uppermost parking area opposite the exhibition building.

Electric cars can be charged in the car park at the foot of the exhibition building, where we have installed eight type 2/22kW chargers. You can download and use the Monta Charge app if you need to charge your vehicle.
